Canada Tilts Leftward

The Canadian public is on a distinct tilt to the left, says a new national public opinion poll, suggesting concern over wealth distribution has traction beyond the Occupy tents and protest parades.

The nationwide poll suggests the New Democratic Party would form a minority federal government if this were election day and a strong majority of Canadians believe the country suffers from an income gap, where the rich are getting too rich and the poor are getting too poor.

Fair Vote Canada (proportional representation instead of first-past-the-post) would make sure no government got into power when so few actually voted them in. If we change our electoral system we’d get a party like the NDP – a party wanting to reduce the growing disparity in our incomes. Of course, those in power don’t want to see this happen. They’re against Fair Vote Canada.
